20 weeks, teeth read blogs???, Uncle Whitney's Grad, and the next tooth already?

Dear Lizzie Sue,

A couple of days ago you were 20 weeks old...yeah Daddy was a major slacker this week. He blames the season finale of Lost...don't worry when you get older I'll show you the first season and it too shall consume your life with you trying to figure out what is really happening on that show. Anyway Daddy digresses back to your 20 weeks old post.

Apparently teeth can read blogs...and now I owe you a pony ride because your first tooth finally made its appearance last weekend. After a very rough couple of days, Mommy and Daddy, both very tired, woke up early Saturday morning to drive to Uncle Whitney's college graduation to find your front right tooth looking back at us. Here is Daddy's best attempt at getting a picture of this special occasion, everyone out there in Lizzie Sue paparazzi-land will have to take my word that there really is a tooth in there.

Uncle Whitney's graduation was fun as we did some of our longest driving with you that day and you did very well all things considered. You pretty much slept almost the entire time whenever we had you strapped into the car seat. This trip showed Mommy and Daddy it is possible to travel with you long distances and it also means a trip to NJ this summer will still be an adventure.

So this morning Mommy and Daddy walked out of church. Not because we weren't happy with the service, or because someone sat in our place in our pew, but because we were losing a battle with teething. Yes Daddy is still talking about teething, apparently after your first tooth comes in, the rest don't magically appear overnight. So once again Mommy and Daddy are back to taking care of a very fussy baby. It looks like your front left tooth didn't like being without Righty so its on its way in as well. Before we left church Daddy got the best teething/parenting advice he has ever received. The magic cure to teething is Black Berry Brandy, apparently Daddy is supposed to put a little on his finger, rub it on your gums, and then drink the rest of the bottle himself. We will have to try that teething remedy before your last tooth decides to join the teeth party in your mouth.

A week from today you'll be 5 months and Daddy will talk about your 4 month doctor visit, shots, and Grammie Sue's reaction to seeing you this coming Saturday!

We Love You,

Mommy & Daddy
